An expository hitchhikers guide to some theorems in mathematics. Criteria for the current list of 135 theorems are whether the result can be formulated elegantly, whether it is beautiful or useful and whether it could serve as a guide [5] without leading to panic. The order is not a ranking but more like a time-line when things were written down. Since [280] stated “a mathematical theorem only becomes beautiful if presented as a crown jewel within a context” we try sometimes to give some…

The Relationship between Constructive Real Numbers and Left Number in Constructive Mathematics
Generally, construction real numbers are considered constructive real numbers that coherently relate to some construction approaches. The analysis of this paper primarily focuses on the perspectives…

A Refinement of a Theorem of J. E. Littlewood
TLDR
A corrected and refined version of Littlewood’s theorem is proposed, which proves that two sentences is a lower bound for any thesis in mathematics, and shows that this lower bound could in theory be attained by exhibiting a one-sentence proof of Picard's “small” theorem.

Men of Mathematics
TLDR
The amount of biographical details and of mathematics that the writer has compressed into a volume of 650 pages is extraordinary ; but he is never dull ; his style is lively, at times even 'snappy' ; he carries the reader along ; he whets the appetite.

TLDR
A new and interesting type of theorem has appeared, one which has no proof of the traditional type; the correctness of the proof cannot be checked without the aid of a computer; the crucial ideas were perfected by computer experiments.
